Tararua District Council has long been a proud supporter of Pūkaha and we are deeply saddened by this morning's news that such an important taonga (treasure) is at risk of closure.

Pūkaha is a special place both for our community, and the nation; and we are hopeful that the reminder of how precious this facility is will provide the financial support that Pūkaha needs to keep operating.
